Safety
Trust is built into RoommateTalk
RoommateTalk keeps private communication limited to participants, provides reporting and blocking controls, and guides users toward safer decisions before money or documents are exchanged.
Verify first
Email, phone, profile review, optional selfie, and voice intro can each provide separate trust signals.
Money caution
Never send deposits, application fees, or rent before independently verifying the room and person.
Report fast
Reports feed moderation queues for profiles, messages, media, suspicious accounts, and repeat abuse.
Meet in public before visiting a home or sharing sensitive details.
Verify identity and use in-platform messaging until trust is established.
Never send money before verifying the person, room, lease, and payment destination.
Avoid suspicious payment requests, pressure tactics, or off-platform urgency.
Report harassment, scams, fake profiles, and unsafe behavior immediately.
Protect personal documents and share them only through trusted, necessary channels.
Use a written roommate agreement for rent, guests, chores, pets, quiet hours, and move-out expectations.
